My family does electrodermal screening with a similar type of machine called the EDS 2000. It is amazing. Seems to be about 75 years ahead of the current medical system. I have found it to be very accurate and very helpful in particular with lyme disease because there are so many infections and the blood testing is so inaccurate. It is also helpful to gauge progress. You can see when infections are no longer in your body. I have heard from several people that the skill of the practitioner is essential. Otherwise, the testing may not be accurate.

Practitioners also use the machines differently. Some take more risks and actually tell you what diseases they find, which is the most helpful. Others are more careful. It's probably best to interview them over the phone to see if they are familiar with lyme disease and if their machines are programmed with the coinfections, viruses, etc, and also to find out how they use the machine. They may be hesitant to tell you much over the phone, but you might get some idea of how they use it. It can also test meds, herbs, etc to see if they work for the particular infection you are taking them for. EDS is simply amazing. I want to learn how to do this and become a practitioner someday.

I am pretty new to this...I am embarassed to say I am a health care professional that did the asyra test...Wow! I have been ill for at least 5 years, and the test picked up on not only all of my syptoms, but came up with the lyme coinfections which I suspected, but could never confirm...I am trying the treatment protocol now, and having some set backs...But at this point, like many with these crazy bugs, I'll try anything! It didn't hurt...especially compaired to the spinal tap!

I was just googling for the electrodermal screening done with a machine called the EDS 2000.

This is the thread that came up. This is exactly what I just had done with the naturolist on Monday at my appt.

I don't know if the tickbattler is still on the forum but I agree whole heartedly after having it done myself!

She was able to find what blood tests could not. She found things that I already knew I had plus many more.

The additional co infections etc that she found are covered under the same treatment for the most part.

Very interesting stuff for sure!! I like the fact that I can gauge my progress long the way. I was able to actually see the names of the infections that I had and how strongly they were affecting each organ if at all.

And I definitely agree that it is 75 years ahead of its time. Altho she told me some drs are actually well aware of this but still wont use it. surprise surprise.

This was by far the best thing I have done for myself where lyme is concerned. I am not talking treatment- naturals vs abs. I am just saying to actually know what you are dealing with is a huge comfort to me. (Even if I dont like what is going on in my body)

I am not familiar with the Asyra but apparently it is similar.

I would absolutely love to buy the machine and learn to be a practitioner myself on this just to be able to show people what they are dealing with. I would not want to influence their treatment in any way tho.

I understand about you wanting to buy the machine and set up shop, Scorp - that would be awesome! I would love to do it as well! Think of the numbers of people (not counting ourselves giggle!) that could be helped!

Just so that you know, those from FNP on up generally aren't here any longer. Cajungrl is too ill to be here and I've seen 1bitten2xshy post a bit ago.

I'm sure glad that you went ahead and had this done! I wish I had access to something like it! Although I would always be in it checking to see my progress knowing me!! Co-Moderator, Lyme Disease ;)

FNP isn't a what, but a who. This member made only the one post. The others are older members and I don't know when the last time tickbattler was here.

Yep, it's really sad that there are those who are just too ill to even be here! I was one of the ones who didn't hardly post at all during 2008 and 2009 I think. I was really quite ill myself. I managed to come back though! and now you can't get rid of me!!! Bwa-ha-ha!!! Co-Moderator, Lyme Disease ;)
